So many people have been disappointed all because they trusted someone and they failed to fulfil their promises to them. We mostly depend on our relatives, friends and colleagues even our boss all because of the fake promises they made to you and because you have trusted them to help you, you are blinded to understand that human beings are just flesh and they can't be perfect. They will surely fuck up at the end and leave you half way and then you get confused.
The Bible already told us that "woe unto those who put their trust in people and not God". God already know that man will fail and are not trustworthy, we need to understand that human beings do not have a say in our lives, they start dictating for us just because we see them as our god and we have trusted them to do what we expect from them. Then at the end, you are left with your choice and they stop doing those things for you. Who do you blame? This is what you get when you depend on someone instead of trusting in the one who can never fail, and that is God.
When I finished from the college of education in year 2015, and I was already working as a teacher and I already decided not to further my education but to help my family in surviving. My elder sister pressurized me to further and she told me not to worry, that God would work everything out. Before then, I have tried twice to go for my degree in the University but was not qualified, and so I gave up. After listening to my Sister, I then gave it a try and this time around, I was admitted into the University but it was affiliated (OAU, affiliated to a college of education) to study Guidance and Counseling. When I told my Aunts because we see them as those left to help us since the demise of our mother while Dad wasn't working. We have trusted them and then, we gave in for them to dictate for us until now that one of them told me not to go to school and that the course isn't a good one neither the school. "If you go for it, then know that we are not helping you" this was what they said and I immediately turned them down and with the help of God and my Sister, I went in and today, I am in my final year. My sister has been taking up the responsibility while my Aunts will do what is in their capacity to help me. I was glad I didn't allow them dictate for my life. If I had trusted them, then I will be dancing to their tunes while I keep repeating Jamb.
Ever since I have trusted God, I have never been disappointed during my stay in the school from the start to almost finishing. Trusting only on God is the best that can ever happen to anybody because you can never be disappointed. How do you expect to be disappointed by God when you trust Him and He knows that? It isn't possible, He will do what you ask from Him.
My younger brother is now experiencing the same thing. They kept refusing to help him even when his cut off mark can take him to a University but they want him to be admitted to the University of their own choice. All because they are in the capacity to help and sponsor him. Now, he has been admitted to the University but was given another course apart from the one he put in for. He informed our Aunt and she refused and said he won't go this year. When he told me, I was so sad and immediately told him, he should not trust or depend on any of our relatives, God will do what He will do. We should just trust in Him.
When you commit all to God's hand, He will never leave you in a confused state but will do everything to the end for you. Human beings aren't reliable at all. They will stop helping you when they are tired, only God can never be tired of helping you.
That statement "if you go for it ,just know we are not helping you" is a common statement by all these uncles and aunties that believe without them one can't survive. Thank God you yield to them. May God see you through and provide abundantly for your brother's Education
